About 02UX4JZ

02UX4JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the thoracic aorta, ascending/arch using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to endovascular implantation of graft in thoracic aorta, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.73).

For a different body part, codes include 02U04JZ (coronary artery, one artery), 02U14JZ (coronary artery, two arteries), 02U24JZ (coronary artery, three arteries), 02U34JZ (coronary artery, four or more arteries), 02U54JZ (atrial septum), 02U64JZ (right atrium) and 19 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02UX0JZ (open) and 02UX3JZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 02UX47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 02UX48Z (zooplastic tissue) and 02UX4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 212 (Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures), DRG 216 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization with MCC), DRG 217 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization with CC), DRG 218 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization without CC/MCC), DRG 219 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with MCC) and DRG 220 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with CC), under the surgical categories “Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures”, “”, “Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization” and 3 more.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
